Don't Be a Litter Bug

Have you ever seen a tree eating sign - make that a sign eating tree?

Nope, me neither.

Huh.

Bad window...

bad, bad window.

Oh no.

So apparently it is soooo hot here that the tar holding the window in place melted? Something's gotta give.

Really.

It's great to be FIVE!

According to Bill Cosby, "It's great to be FIVE!" And Charlie believes him. He is three - and a half - and he told his soon-to-be Aunt Mary that he was five. He sooooo wants to be five because when you are five you get to go to Kindergarten.

Kindergarten. Big whoop. The beginning of 17 loooooooong years of education. I used to long to get on the school bus too, until I did. School is not all you have dreamed it up to be my little Chaz, but maybe for you it will be.

But about the pic...Little Laurel got a kitten and named him Smokey. I seem to be the most boring pet namer in all of the universe. Why is that? I had a black horse and named him Blackie. A grey cat is Smokey.

My mom reminds me that I had an imaginary friend I called Collijosin. Now that is a name!

I did have a cat - she came prenamed - Spark Plug, until we realized he was a she - common problem I know. We ended up calling her Sparky, but not me, I called her Woofie. Woofie because she would get right up in your face and bark a meow at you, like she, her puffy little self was going to let you know exactly what she thought. And she did. Woofie was a cool cat.

Ha.

But really, Woofie was a cool cat.

MEOW.

MeeOWH.

Mee OWH.

MEEowh.

Love that shot!

How cute am I? Jeans rolled up, pig tails, nerdy glasses?! Not everyone can pull this look off. In fact very few can.

Haha!

The other day I was in Publix with my little guy. He was being a very good little guy because he had just gotten a new transformer with the money great gram gave him. He asked to go to the turkey section - the deli - so we waited for slices, one of ham, one turkey, and one chicken. As he was gobbling down his on-the-go meal, I was working his new purchase from the robot version into the truck.

When I was finished I handed it to him saying, "You know Charlie, not every mom knows how to transform a transformer." He knew his mom had something special.

Hehe!

I crack myself up.

Circa 1991

Flashback - Here's a photo of a Jersey girl at the Senior Prom! Charlie's having a fit...will write more later.
